Hollow

Money can't buy happiness unless it's a bouncing bundle of joy. Hidden smiles, yearning hearts wrapped in stigma and shame, Hollow is an intimate glimpse into the experiences of 6 black women struggling with infertility.

The documentary highlights the fact that, although the global assisted reproductive technology (ART) is a more than 20 billion-dollar industry, reaching the ultimate goal of motherhood is still unattainable for many black women.
